Hi, maybe I search in the wrong place, but using the above link I cannot find the precious update. Could it be possible to have the exact link or better the file itself? Thanks a lot anyway...

Hi, could you please make an example to understand what do you mean? I'm having similar problem with Luxembourg AS airport. I have a certain number of texture with name.r8 in the main texture folder and I do not know why they have this kind of extension. Thanks

Hi, I noticed that the passenger weight used in the airbus load manager is 75kg. I think this value is wrong because the EU OPS 1 document states that for aircraft with more than 30 seats all flights except holiday charters must consider 84kg of weight for all adults (male or female). Is there any way to correct this value as it can be done for the PMDG for which there is the possibility to modify the seatweight value in the loadmanager.ini file?Thanks

Hi I'm having problems to login into the library. I click on LOGIN and then I write email and password as required, but the system answer "login unsuccesful". If I try to reset my password the system answer that the email used does not exist in the database, if I try to register again with th esame email the system indicates that the email is already used. The access to the AVSIM Forum seem to be ok (same email but obviously different password).What is the problem?Thanks

Situation:Flight LSZB-EKCX 579NM (FSBuild planning)PMDG 737-700, 128 passenger on board in mixed configuration 23040lbsBaggage 3902lbs (1952lbs fwd cargo, 1950 aft cargo)Cruising Altitude FL310Headwind 20ktsUsing 737NG Fuel Planner I obtained the following calculation:Trip Distance 600NMAlternate 200NMHeadwind 20kts (from ActiveSky Evolution)WCA 32NMTotal NAM 632NMPax+Cargo 26942lbsAlternate Fuel 3300lbsHolding fuel (30min) 2600lbsMin Landing Fuel 2600lbsEnroute Fuel Burn 8111lbsTaxi fuel 550 (about 7min)Total fuel at taxi 17161lbsThe problem is that at the end of the flight (5 minutes taxi 1h 40min of flight and 3 or 4 min taxi to the parking area) when I checked the fuel quantity I found that the aircraft burnt about 2200lbs more fuel than expected.It's not the first time that I notice this discrepancy from the calculated fuel and the real consumption at the end of the flight.I tried to compare the data calculated with the program with those indicated in the PMDG manual and there are not substantial differencies.I also followed the indication about the speed used to calculate the table in the PMDG manual without results.Is there anything I did not understand or I forgot?

Yes, I definitely agree with you.Thanks a lot.

Yes, I understand it. So is it a bug of the PMDG or can I do something to solve it? Thanks for this article that explains a bit more. But this behaviour is not the same as for the main central tank.Infact I made other tests. Wing tanks completely empty and fuel only in the main central tank.If I try to start an engine without turning the corresponding central tank fuel pump on the engine does not start.The engine starts also if I turn on the central tank fuel pump of the other engine and opening the cross feed. And till there I think that it's normal.The strange behaviour is this:left "center tank" pump ON, right "center tank" pump OFF, cross feed ON. All engine start regularly. If I close the cross feed the right engine continues to run. If I switch off also the left pump both the engines turn off. (the same is with left pump off, right on).What do you think about this?

Hi, I'm new user of the AVSIM forum. My name is Andrea Nardi.I noticed that there are some strange behaviours reguarding the fuel quantity related to the eventual engine failure.PMDG 737-700. I wanted to see the behaviour of the engines in case one wing tank became empty and the other one still had enough fuel in it. I tried to set a certein quantity of fuel (2000kg) in one wing tank and I left the other with just a few kgs of fuel (let say 20kg) and the center tank empty with its pumps off.The pumps of the wing tanks are obviously ON but the CROSS FEED is closed. After a few seconds (when the tank with a very low quantity of fuel is completely empty) both the engines stops. I don't understand why this happens.The other strange thing is that in normal conditions (wing tank with fuel) it seems that also with the wing tank fuel pumps off the engines starts and continue to work regularly. Is that a correct behaviour or not?Thanks
